    摘要: An object is to control the wavelength of a light output from a wavelength-tunable light source device with high precision. A light source outputs a light. A wavelength filter transmits a light having a wavelength being a part of a wavelength included in the light output from the light source. A transmission characteristics adjustment unit can adjust transmission characteristics of the wavelength filter. A control unit controls the transmission characteristics adjustment unit. A wavelength detection unit detects a wavelength of the light transmitted by the wavelength filter. The control unit feedback-controls adjustment of the transmission characteristics of the wavelength filter in the transmission characteristics adjustment unit to cause the wavelength detected by the wavelength detection unit to be a value within a predetermined range including a target wavelength.

    摘要: A system for wavelength control in a passive optical network (PON) with point to multi-point (P2MP) topology comprising a central node and end node. The system comprises a central node transceiver configured for broadcasting to end nodes a reference signal carrying a management information, wherein the management information indicates a target frequency assigned to each end node, and an end node transceiver in each end node configured for determining the target frequency by extracting the management information from the reference signal. The system comprises generating a beating frequency by beating the reference signal with an uplink laser signal, and controlling a wavelength of the uplink laser signal to lock to the target frequency based on the beating frequency. The system is compatible with existing power-split optical distribution networks (ODN), with tolerance to an uplink reflection, and has high power sensitivity.

    摘要: There is described an interferometer for use in an optical locker. The interferometer comprises at least two transparent materials having different thermal path length sensitivities. The interferometer is configured such that an input beam is split by the interferometer into first and second intermediate beams, which recombine to form an output beam, the first and second intermediate beams travelling along respective first and second intermediate beam paths which do not overlap. At least one of the intermediate beam paths passes through at least two of the transparent materials. A length of each intermediate beam path which passes through each transparent material is selected such that an optical path difference between the first and second intermediate beam path is substantially independent of temperature.
